"To get from Paris to Lille you can take a Flibco bus or a Megabus. I think megabus actually stops at the airport a few times a day. Busses would take about three hours, so they are slower but also cheaper than the trains (Thalys and another option, I forget). In general it's 20-40 euros one way. Definitely buy ahead as the busses sell out and train tickets can get super pricy the day of. Alternatively, if you're up for an adventure, you can sign up for a cheap ride share with locals on blablacar."

Deal #2 - A multi-city deal from Toronto to Helsinki, Finland to Amsterdam, Netherlands and then back to Toronto - for $485 CAD roundtrip including taxes

Yes, with this multi-city deal you can spend time in each city.

You can also substitute Amsterdam for Paris, and it will work out to about $20 more.

With the example links above, the dates are in November. You can try adjusting the dates to other dates between September 2015 and February 2016.

You may want to focus on Tuesday flights at first, to see if the cheap price is available.

Once you see something you like, you can either click through from Google Flights to the KLM website or Air France website for booking, or you can take the same dates and destinations you found and try searching on KLM.com or AirFrance.ca directly

NOTE: Third party booking website FareDepot is claiming that some of these can be booked for even less. Such as Toronto to Tallinn, Estonia $442 CAD roundtrip including taxes. Or Toronto - Copenhagen for $524.

Hi Chris,

My wife and I just booked the Toronto - Pairs - Lille - Toronto flight. We thought that Paris may be a couple of years away but at this price we couldn't say no. Ended up booking through Flighthub at $535 each Oct 8 - 20.

Thanks again for everything you do. You make travelling affordable.

Dennis

Thanks Sadaf. I've fixed the link, but it may take a little while before it works, due to caching. In the mean time, you can just go to www.airfrance.ca directly.

hi there. for the paris-lille-toronto trip, do we buy our own train ticket from paris to lille? i understand that the ticket is already included from lille back to paris. thanks.

Nothing like a sale to narrow down your vacation choices... or even to strongarm you into taking a vacation period!

Anyone try building a multi-city with this. Hoping to do 2 night Copenhagen, 2 nights Oslo and 2 nights Stockholm but would need to do flights or options between cities as well.

Rach: Yes, you would need to find your own way from Paris to Lille.

Someone posted some good info about this in the YYZ Deals Facebook Group:

"To get from Paris to Lille you can take a Flibco bus or a Megabus. I think megabus actually stops at the airport a few times a day. Busses would take about three hours, so they are slower but also cheaper than the trains (Thalys and another option, I forget). In general it's 20-40 euros one way.

For the Paris/Lille ticket has anyone checked with Air France on needing to complete the train for the cheaper fare?

I am hoping to do the following:

Fly in to Paris; spend 4 nights there. Take the train to Lille; spend one day and one night there and then take the train from Lille back to Paris and fly to Toronto.

The return leg is fine, my concern is if I don't take the train on first leg and simply get off in Paris; will my return ticket become invalidated?

So to arrive London on 30th and leave on 2nd Nov for eastern Europe for 7 days& back from the end city to YYZ.. How do I do this in a cheapest way? Any idea please, any deal from Toronto in this period ? Thanks

Does anyone know if you have to have your checked bags with you for the train leg from Lille to Paris? I was going to book a one way train ticket to Lille just to do the check in...but I'd rather not drag my bags with me as I'm not checking out of my Paris hotel until the next day. Thanks!

How did you guys get the following: Copehagen, Denmark CPH $585? I tried Finnair/BA/AA and can't get below ~900CAD for roundtrip YYZ-CPH. Thanks.

Thinking of booking the one to Amsterdam but skipping Helsinki. The flight has a layover in Amsterdam then goes to Helsinki and then flight # 2 goes from there to Amsterdam. What would happen if I just got off at Amsterdam in the first place? Will I have trouble getting my luggage? or will there be an issues coming back to Toronto from the airline? Just looking for advice from someone who's done something similar before?
